THE SPOOL OF THREAD.
It's just as Good Burglar Alarm
as Man Could Ask for.

One day last week Dr. Wilson had oc-
casiOn to put 800, or some sum of
about that size in the safe, and a few
hour later CHANGED to discover that $40
of it had disappeared. DR.. Wilson is a
modest man, and he was rather inclined
to believe that he had counted the
money wrongly until on Friday once
again the pile in the safe fell away, this
time to the tune of $40. DR.. Wilson
thought the experimental stage had
gone far enough, and decided to pro-
ceed at once to a practical operation,
with a view to preserving the sanctity
of the safe. The closet where this solid
institution is harbOred is divided from
the outer world by a door. DR.. Wilson
got spool of thread, tied the thread to
the door knob of the closet, and car
ried the spool with him to a back room
up stairs. The closet door was closed
upon the safe.
Dr. Wilson put the spool upon chair
and sat down on the bed to await devel-
opments. He also took off his shoes
and made sure that his six-shooter was
in good working order. 1t was still
broad daylight; the afternoon sun gilded
that little spool of thread rs it lay min
ute after minute motionless upon the
chair. DR.. Wilson had not heard n
sound in the rest of the empty house,
and it was without warming of any kind
that the spool of thread jumped off the
chair. Somebody had opened the closet
door and the safe was being tampered
with,
Dr. Wilson took another look at his
revolver and then slipped quietly down
the stairs. DR.. Wizards office has two
doors, one opening on to the street, the
other leading into the house. The first
is. always open, the latter on this Occa-
sion was stealthily opened by Dr.. Will
son. He looked into the room and saw
at once that man was calmly and i'll Il
leisurely manner dallying with the
sacred secrets of the safe. The door of
the safe was open and the thief would
have had it all his own way if DIR. Will
son had not been in the rear with q
grinning revolver i'll his hand. There
was n painful suddenness about the
question with which DR.. Wilson broke
the awk ward period of suspense.
"Where did yOu learn the combina-
ton Z" Dir. Wilson coldly asked. The
investigator of safes looked around,
made feeble attempt to speak, and
with very white face concentrated his
gaze on the revolver. He didn't show II
fragment of desire to argue the ques-
ton with his fists or otherwise, so DR..
Wilson went over to the telephone and

THE CONVICT-CATCHERS
Big Yellow Dogs Employed to Chase
Runaway Prisoners in Alabama.

There is. something besides moral
suasion and good treatment on which
the lessees of the convicts ut Pratt
Mines rely to maintain the safe keeping
of their 700 prisoners. With only a
high fence between the convicts and the
woods, with all the chances of escaping
the bullets from single rifle in n bi eak
for liberty, 1T seems strange that more
attempts are not made. The explana-
ton is found in the presence of the big
legged, long cared yellow hounds which
lie about the stockade. The Pratt Mines
people pride themselves on having the
finest trallers in the State if not in the
entire south. One mans time is taken
in breeding and training, and the strain
is maintained in all its purity. These
dogs loaf about the stockade yard,
mingling with the convicts. There are
on the best terms in the world with
them. Every one of these men in stripes
might walk out of prison and the trailers
would only beat their tails approvingIy
upon the ground and look dogs good
by. There isn't anything of the watch
dog instinct about them. They are ut-
terly worthless save for one thing. They
lie III the shade and sleep and eat.
They do not even fight among them
selves. But let them be called out and
the trail be given them. 1t matters not
whose trail it is.

Her eyes roved anXiously over the eX-

She smiled dazzling smile of recog-

at rest on the heart of her husband.
"Not the bands of death could hold me

He did not rise to meet her. He was
sitting bending forward, and his face
was averted as from sight distressing

grasp and was resting against his knee,
two of its strings broken and sharled.
She laid upon his shoulder the hand
from which he had extracted the venom
of the tarantula.

Her voice had never before appealed
to him in vain. Now he gave it no heed.

lips, and she turned to her husband.

BORODINO AND GETTYSBURG.
Modern Battles in Which a Great
Number of men were Killed.
from the Louisville Courier.

1t is not uninteresting to state what
have been the bloodiest battles in the
last hundred years, that is, to compute
the percentage of loss to the numbers
engaged: Within the allotted time the
Napoleonic battles come first. The bat
tie of Lodi, Bonaparte's first brilliant
brigade, and does not enter into the
sanguinary struggle of the italian cam
bered about 10000, and the loss
At Rivoli there were $4,000 men engag-
ed, and the loss was 10000, but 10000
of these consisted of Austrians who sur
rendered to Napoleon, SO that the real
loss was only 25 per cent.
After Bonaparte's return from Egypt
he fought the battle of Marengo. In its
results this was one of the most moment
Gus engagements in history, but all the
accounts agree that it was the worst
planned and the worst fought of all
Bonapartes victories. There were
60, 0OJ men engaged, and the loss was
1900, or about % per cent. At the
battle of Austerlitz, which by many is
considered NuPoieon's most b.i!li->t
victory, the French and Austro- Russian
armies numbered 30, 900, and the loss
was 40, 900 or about IS, per cent. At
Jewa-Auerstadt there were 325, 900 men
engaged, and the loss was 10000, or
about twelve per cent. At Borodino
there were ITO, 900 men in battle, and
$4,000 were killed and wounded,
amounting to more than At per cent.
At Leipsic there were 500, 900 men in the
battle, which lasted three days, and the
loss was 10, 900, or % per cent. At
Waterloo 140, 200 men We're engaged,
and the loss was 10000, or % per cent.
In the Crimean war there were 125, 900
men at the battle of Inkerman, and the
casualties amounted to 25, 900, or 20 per
cent. At Magenta there were 225, 900
men; the loss was IL per cent, or about
25, 900. At SOlfelnO there was $50, 900,
and the loss was 10000, or 16 per cent.
At Sadowa the hostile forces numbered
425, 900, and 10000, ORIG per cent, were
killed and wounded. At GravelOtte
there were 400, ,000men in the encounter,
of whom 35, 900, or s per cent were killed
and wounded. At Shiloh the armies
numbered 10000, and the loss was
10000, or one-third. At Fredericks-
burg there were $50, 200, and the loss
was 10000 or II per cent. At Antie-
tam there We're 100000, and the loss
was 5000 or about 13 per cent. At
Chickamauga there was 105, 900, and the
loss was 10000 or 20 per cent. At
Charlottesville there were $50, 900, and
the loss was 200, or % per cent. At
Gettysburg there were 160, 900, and the
loss amounted to 1900, or 80 per cent.
Thus the figures show that Borodino
was the bloodiest battle of modern
times with Gettysburg in the second
place.

In a Vikings Grave.

His feet were turned little north of
west, as if he was laid to face the direc-
ton of the setting sun, for several ver-
tebrae of the back lay continuously along
the centre, and beyond these was the
left thigh bone. He had worn wooden
surcoat, edged with beautiful frilling
of gold, and buckled at the neck with a
golden clasp, for some traces of woven
woolen fibre were found adhering be-
meath fragment of decayed wood, and
numerous shreds of gold tissue, some
times 10 inches in length, gathered up
into fringe of an inch in width, were
scattered for same two yards along the
middle of the grave; and above these
was q buckle, 4 inches loug, made of
four ounces of pure gold, richly chased,
and set with garnets and with ornaments
of cOlored enamel, which still retains
its brilliancy. He wore also a belt of
stamped leather, fastened by two gold
buckles, of only less beautiful workman
ship than that which clasped his mantle,
for the buckles were lying at about the
centre of the body and fragment of
leather remained in one of them. Over
his lap was laid his shield, circular, 2
feet in width, its under side of wood,
strengthened with a ring of iron, its
outer side incnsed with bronze; and pOr-
tions of this were found, the central
ring lying three feet from the brooch
buckle, and serving to give some idea OF
the herO's stature. His hands were
placed scross the shield rs he lay, as If
to clasp it to his breast; and, attached to
his sleeves, he wore bracelets or armlets
of bronze, with serrated edges and rims
OF gilded silver for these were found,
with traces of the woolen fabric of his
under garment still adheling to the rims,
lying above the fragments of the shield.
His large two-edged sword of iron, ~
inches long, in its sheath of wood, was
laid Mt his side, and close to his hand
was the sear, or dagger of iron, and a
barbed javelin lay near; for all OF these
were found, some in the last stages OF
decay, together with many lesser tra9-
ments of bronze and iron, which may
have been portions of his armor. 10
the right of his feet was placed bucket,
such as the SaXons commonly carried IN
their war ships; and though flattened
by the pressure of the earth upon 1t,
this bucket was sufficiently preserved to
show that its materials were of the same
character as those of the shield. - Back
